Hi, I’m Will
I’m a producer, audio engineer, and songwriter for multiple genres. I have a bachelor’s degree in music production and have plenty of experience working with artists to bring their ideas to life. My passion for music and art can be seen in the various skills I possess, from playing multiple instruments and writing lyrics to beat-making as well as mixing, and mastering.
My typical approach to a lesson
When I teach lessons, my number one priority is to allow students to have fun while learning more about the music they enjoy listening to while also encouraging exploration into other styles of music and art. I believe a solid knowledge of theory, technique, and music history goes a long way in both playing songs you like as well as creating your own original music.
My advice to students
Remember music is a journey. Just like all art forms, music is a tool for self-expression. Whether you’re learning more about what you enjoy, exploring other genres, practicing your instrument, writing lyrics, or recording, it is all part of this ever-changing process of you growing and learning to express yourself and find what makes you unique. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask. Don’t give up in the face of challenges. And most importantly enjoy the journey, have fun, and make it yours.
My favorite local spots
Crossroads in Garwood NJ is one of my favorite local venues. A lot of bands I personally like play there as well as various local acts. They even have weekly karaoke nights and sometimes they host film festivals!
My three tips for success
- Trust the process and be patient. Like with any new skill, learning music takes time and consistent practice.
- Keep an open mind. Music is a vast subject with many different aspects to learn about and enjoy. Always try new things and never stop broadening your horizons.
- Collaborate with other musicians. Music is meant to be shared with others and is the most exciting when playing and creating with fellow musicians.
